Gold armor is a pre-Hardmode armor set consisting of the Gold Helmet, Gold Chainmail, and Gold Greaves. Crafting a full set requires a total of 75 Gold Bars (300 Gold Ore). The full set grants 16 defense while equipped.

Its alternate ore counterpart is the Platinum armor.

The Ancient Gold Helmet is functionally identical to and interchangeable with the Gold Helmet. The Ancient Gold Helmet has a 1/100 (1%) chance of being dropped by Skeletons and Spore Skeletons, and can also be obtained by dropping a Gold Helmet into Shimmer.

Notes

  • The Ancient Gold Helmet has the same sprite that the Gold Helmet had before 1.0.3, thus the term "Ancient".
  • The Ancient Gold Helmet is available even if a world generated with Platinum Ore.
